Convert kgf-cm to N-cm
Kilogram-force centimeters to newton centimeters. Enter a value to convert, or use the kgf-cm to N-cm chart further down the page.
1 kilogram-force centimeter equals 9.80665 newton centimeters. Going the other way, 1 newton centimeter = 0.1019716213 kilogram-force centimeters.
Note. Torque and energy share the same dimensions, so a newton metre and a joule are numerically identical — but they are not interchangeable in meaning. Keep torque figures in torque units.
How to convert kgf-cm to N-cm
To convert kilogram-force centimeters to newton centimeters, multiply the kilogram-force centimeter value by 9.80665. You can also divide by 0.1019716213 to get the same answer.
N·cm = kgf·cm × 9.80665
